0.08 – The goal of a system like the one described in this video is to be able to “resolve” the details of distant objects, many nighttime footage contains just dots of light but no structure details behind the dot is ever provided, without structure details is really impossible to make an educated “identification” of the object under observation.

Many times even with full structure details a clear identification it is very hard to make, many daylight footage are examples of that.

0.37 – Option # 1: The camera lens of the right is the spotter, a modified “security” camera, no filters to allow maximal amount of light reach the camera sensor. In this case is a LG LCB5100 camera and a motorized 16-160mm lens.

1.07 – The camera telescope on the left is the "resolver", in this case a Calestron 2000mm focal length, 120mm objetive lens and a 5megapixels IP camera using the "night shot" option. Telescopes with high aperture are recommended.

2.04 – Option # 2: We are going to use 18mm generation 3 image intensifiers, by using image intensifiers in the spotter part and then in the resolver part we are increasing the light sensitivity of the system by several orders of magnitude.
